The transient electronic and molecular structure arising from photoinduced charge transfer in transition metal complexes is studied by X-ray powder diffraction with a 100 fs temporal and atomic spatial resolution. Crystals containing a dense array of Fe(II ...
In light-emitting electrochemical cells, the lifetime of the device is intrinsically linked to the stability of the phosphorescent emitter. In this study, we present a series of ionic iridium(III) emitters based on cyclometalating phenylpyridine ligands wh ...
The iodouranium(iii) complex with two hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl) borate ligands is shown to adopt three closely related forms in the solid state. In addition to the previously reported structure for [U(TpMe2) 2I], in which one of the pyrazolyl rings ...
We show with DFT calculations within the COSMO framework that the wetting energy of clean or hydroxylated anatase TiO2 surfaces is strongly enhanced by Ca deposition at low coverage. Two mechanisms contribute to this behavior: the ionic character of Ca ads ...
The electrochemical stability of ionic liquids based on the 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium EMIM cation and three different anions, dicyanoamide (N(CN)(2)), tricyanomethanide (C(CN)(3)) and tetracyanoborate (B(CN)(4)), has been investigate ...
A number of methacrylate ionic monomers with different structures and mobilities of ionic centers were synthesized. The free-radical polymerization of these monomers in solution affords high-molecular-mass (M (sD) = 0.5 to 2.5 x 10(6)) thermally stable (T ...
The solvation of Ba+ ions created by the photoionization of barium atoms located on the surface of helium nanodroplets has been investigated. The excitation spectra corresponding to the 6p 2P1/2
Hydrogen bonding in ionic liquids based on the 1-(2'-hydroxylethyl)-3-methylimidazolium cation (C(2)OHmim) and various anions (A) of differing H-bond acceptor strength, viz. hexafluorophosphate PF6, tetrafluoroborate BF4, bis-(trifluoro ...
Phosphane complexes of the putative formula [CoX2(dppe)] [X = Cl, Br, I; dppe = bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane] are frequently used catalyst precursors in cobalt-catalyzed reactions. Despite their widespread use, these complexes have not been structurally c ...
The lithium-intercalated fulleride Li12C60 was investigated in view of a lightweight hydrogen storage material due to the low molecular weight of its constituents. Deuterium (D2) absorption in Li12C60 shows an uptake of up to 9.5 mass % D2 (equivalent to ∼ ...
